Why are the governments of the world not happy with the Amnesty International’s human rights reports?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → It focusses on the misconduct of government authorities
Option (1) It leaks the sensitive document to the military governments of the world — Incorrect. Amnesty International prepares and publishes reports on human rights; it does not leak documents to anyone.
Option (2) It focusses on the misconduct of government authorities — Correct. Amnesty is an NGO that campaigns for human rights all over the world. Governments are not always happy with its reports since a major focus of Amnesty is the misconduct of government authorities.
Option (3) It is pushed around by big players — Incorrect. This is a complaint the developing countries make about the World Trade Organisation: that they are pushed around by big powers such as the US, the EU and Japan, which use it to frame trade rules in their own interest. It has nothing to do with why governments dislike Amnesty’s reports.
Option (4) It’s non-transparent procedure — Incorrect. ‘Non-transparent procedures’ is the other complaint of the developing countries against the WTO, about how its trade rules are made. Governments’ unhappiness with Amnesty comes from the subject of its reports, the misconduct of government authorities, not from its procedures.
